    Honestly, for the first I never thought I’d have it, until diving in and playing numerous hours. Looking forward to more games.

    It's an interesting concept that works rather well. The option of playing on the big screen or handheld works nicely. The only minus is the lack of games of course. There is Zelda and Mario Kart was just released, but the lack of things at the beginning I am used to since I was an original PS4 owner and it took awhile for that thing to kick in.

    The last game console I bought was the Wii. Now many years later this is the best console for the whole family. Small, portable and fully capable for adults and children. Unlike the Xbox and PS4 which are more for serious and hard core gamers, the Switch is well suited for the whole family... as long as you buy the interactive games.

    I bought this game console as a gift for my daughters ... they are super happy ... very easy to use and excellent to play as a family, since the games allow you to play several players at the same time together in the livingroom ... and they have a variety of family games and for children and young people ...

    Ideal family game console

    We bought the original Switch for my son's 5th birthday, RIGHT BEFORE COVID lockdown began and they were subsequently sold out everywhere for months! It has been the perfect family game console, and almost 2 years later we're playing it more than ever. I love that my husband and both kids can talk shop about Zelda and Minecraft, they have great conversations about what they're discovering in the game AND it inspires their IRL pretend play including building game-inspired artifacts with K'nex, PlusPlus blocks, and Lego. We plan to buy a second one for our daughter's birthday this year, now that both kids AND their dad are playing so much. Also, it survived a fall down the basement stairs and several other more minor drops with no meaningful damage (it had a screen protector on, luckily) so it's family-friendly in several ways!

    I wasn't aware I would enjoy the Switch as much as I have. I bought it for snowed in days, since Series X is Sold Out. I'm glad I did. I got a couple of games but there are also games available for free, just need to purchase service for a year - not expensive at all.

    It’s definitely an upgrade to the Wii U. My 16 year old son loves it just as much as my 9 year old daughter!... And us parents!

    Been enjoying this a lot. Not a big fan of handhelds but the plush screen has caused me to play more handheld than docked to TV.

    My daughter has been begging for this since it came out. She has cerebral palsy and we didn’t know if she would be able to play it. After visiting Best Buy for her to play the demo we finally decided to get it for her. It’s been amazing. She has done so well with it. My only regret is we didn’t get it for her sooner.
